Workout Journal 18

Still here. Still exercising. I had a rough exhausting period, followed by a stomach thing, where I couldn't bend over with out anal leakage. I didn't exercise as much as I would've liked. Today, same thing. I wanted to go to the park because it was 50F, but I guess I ate too much fiber last night or something, because I had the shits again. Actually crapped myself bending over to get the baby.

Gettin old is fun?

However, our courtyard is kind of large with a sidewalk, so if I'm serious--and I didn't eat as well as I should've this holiday--I may start jogging around the courtyard. I feel fat. I don't look fatter, but ugh, I feel fatter. Doesn't help that I've been eating gluten, which bloats me up like a dead raccoon. My self discipline has been lagging as of late. Stress. I need to get smart and back on track and turn that stress into useful energy again. Instead of stress eating. Sugar. Gluten. Carbs. Bad shit that causes me to regress and makes me feel terrible physically and mentally. Tomorrow's a new day, where I'm getting back on my diet and workout routine, adding in the courtyard jog.

Tonight, I did some of my usual workouts with a buttload of squats and some exercises that I haven't done in a while. I also did some belly dancing drills and techniques. Worked on my steps while holding the baby. He enjoyed that. Depending on my tummy, I may do some BD cardio, too. Play some catch up.

Here's hoping that this stomach thing is over and done with tomorrow. Yuck!

Customarily, the contrast between valuable gemstones and semi-valuable gemstones relied upon the diamonds qualities and its arrangement. Jewels that were uncommon and not effectively available to the majority were considered, 'valuable', to a limited extent since they were hardly known outside of the authorities who searched them out. The worth, in addition to restrictiveness of these gems is the thing that made them exceptionally wanted. The favored individuals who enhanced themselves in valuable pearls in past occasions were the blue-bloods who had the option to manage the cost of such extravagances. Interestingly, semi-valuable gemstones were known more for being natural or having mending properties as opposed to for their worth.

Valuable Gemstones

Initially, the initial five valuable pearls were jewels (obviously), emeralds, rubies, sapphires and amethysts (which were later renamed in light of the fact that they were too regular to be in any way thought to be valuable sub…

Long time, no post, eh? I'm back, with a new attitude. I sprained my back in September, vomiting from food poison. I didn't like not being mobile. It taught me to not take my mobility for granted, which I didn't realize that I was doing until I wasn't able to dance.

This year's been full of trials concerning my health. In the beginning, I was hopeful. Then I wasn't so hopeful. Then I was back to self loathing. I had gained a lot of weight back because I wasn't sticking to my diet or able to go to the park as often to jalk. After my sprained my back and had to go to the ER for back spasms and learn that I couldn't get actual pain killers that did anything, THEN fight with my insurance to do their job, I was going to the park for short walks, but it wasn't enough.

I couldn't lay down on the floor for my usual leg and core exercises. I couldn't really do squats. I was limited to upper body and walking. Some low impact belly dancing. …

Since tis nearly the season of spring, I figured that I'd ask a Flora Goddess about planning and preparation, and Ariadne gave me two cards--Nettle and Samphire. Nettle was about learning from your past pains and letting them empower you. Showing you that you're stronger--give you strength for the future. Artist Kat Shaw's ...And Still I Rise Project came to mind. Then Ariadne told me told to "draw again" and I got Samphire--Adventure. She could've very well had me draw cards that literally mean planning and preparation, but She went a different route. Healing the past, drawing strength from your pains, for a good future. "No mud, no lotus", one of my favorite healing mantras. From our mud and underworlds, with preparation and planning, we shall rise to greet the sky, beautiful and free!
